Synology NAS To configure iSCSI Storage

With Qunhui DS 220+ For example, configure , For other models, please refer to Official documents .

1、 Synology NAS End configuration

1、 establish iSCSI target, Open in the main menu SAN Manager, newly added iSCSI

Keep the default

Select Map later

2、 establish LUN, choice LUN And new

by LUN Select the iSCSI Target

Select allow all

After the above configuration is completed NAS End iSCSI Already configured , Next, configure the client .

2、 by VMware vSphere To configure iSCSI Storage

With ESXI 7.x.x For example, configure , Sign in ESXI Web Management interface .

1、 add to iSCSI Adapter , Choose storage —> Adapter —> Software iSCSI, Configure the following three parts and save .

The static target is NAS iSCSI The interface is copied , The address is NAS Storage IP Address .

2、 New data store , Choose new VMFS data storage

Choose the newly discovered iSCSI equipment

Use all disks and confirm

After the addition, it is as follows , When creating a virtual machine, you can choose synology As back-end storage .

3、 by Windows Computer coordination iSCSI Storage

With windwos 11 For example ,

1、 Search... In the search box iSCSI, open iSCSI Initiate a program

Or search in the control panel Windows Tools

2、 Input NAS Storage IP Address , Select the discovered target and click Connect

3、 Disk initialization

Enter disk management in the search bar

When the configuration is complete , A new disk will be added in disk management , It can operate like a local disk , Partition formatting

4、 See the final effect

5、 Test disk read and write speed

open cmd Command interface , Use windows Built in disk speed measurement command winsat disk test E Disk reading and writing speed , Due to the use of gigabit network cards and networks for networking , The reading and writing speed is 100 MB/s, In line with expectations .
